FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE CAR WITH FUEL AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS THE FUEL PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF. THIS CAUSES GASOLINE TO SPILL OUT OVER THE FILLER NECK. THE SPILL IS STRONG ENOUGH WHERE IT SPEWS BACK A FEW INCHES TOWARDS THE PERSON STANDING NEXT TO THE TANK. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
6 SPEED TRANSMISSION FORKS ARE POORLY DESIGNED. VEHICLE CAN POP OUT OF 1ST GEAR STARTING AT UNDER 15K MILES. CAN LEAD TO VEHICLE ROLLING AWAY WHEN PARKED IN GEAR AS WELL AS ROLLING BACK WHEN STARTING ON HILLS. MY VEHICLE HAD THE PROBLEM ALREADY AT ABOUT 90K WHEN I BOUGHT IT. NO IDEA HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. MANY REPORTS INDICATE THE PROBLEM CAN OCCUR IN THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION AT AS EARLY AS 15K DUE TO DESIGN. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC, AND WHILE IT IS NICE TO BE PAID TO REPLACE THESE PARTS REGULARLY, IT CAN BE A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED (24,000 MILES) STARTED SPITTING A SMALL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE FROM THE FILLER TUBE ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT WOULD SPIT OUT ABOUT A SECOND AFTER THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF. LIKE MANY OTHERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, I BLAMED THE STATIONS EQUIPMENT. I TRIED OTHER STATIONS & OTHER TECHNIQUES LIKE FILLING SLOWER & TRYING TO ANTICIPATE WHEN THE TANK WOULD BE FULL & FILLING AS SLOWLY AS THE NOZZLE WOULD ALLOW. NOTHING SEEMED TO PREVENT THE SPIT BACK. I RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF THE WORKINGS OF THE VAPOR CONTROL PROPERTIES OF MY JEEP. THAT LED ME TO AN INTERNET FORUM & TO THE FACT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO SAW THAT THE NHTSA HAS INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM ON 2007 & 2008 WRANGLERS & THAT HAS LED TO CHRYSLER VOLUNTARILY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THOSE GAS TANKS. HOWEVER, IN THEIR FINAL REPORT THE NHTSA (PE10-032) SEEMED CRITICAL OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS BECAUSE OF INTERNET EXPOSURE. IF THIS EXPOSURE LEADS TO IDENTIFYING MORE PEOPLE WITH LEGITIMATE COMPLAINTS, HOW IS THIS A BAD THING? THESE ASSERTIONS MAY BE EASILY VERIFIED BY A TRIP TO A FILLING STATION. PART OF CHRYSLERS RESPONSE WAS BASED ON WARRANTY CLAIMS, IT IS LOGICAL THAT THE OLDER & OUT OF WARRANTY VEHICLES WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED IN THEIR EVALUATION. I BELIEVE THAT EXTENDING THE WARRANTY RATHER THAN A RECALL IS A GOOD WAY OF HANDLING THIS (REPLACING ONLY THE TANKS WITH PROBLEMS) & I APPLAUD CHRYSLER FOR THIS. I HOPE YOU WILL ENCOURAGE CHRYSLER TO ADD THE 2004-2006 WRANGLERS TO THE EXTENDED GAS TANK WARRANTY PROGRAM AS WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE 07 & 08S ARE. THE FAIR ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. THE IDENTIFIED FAILURE SEEMS TO BE A CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK.
